About

The Atom Trail is a short circular walking trail around one of East Lancashire's intriguing "Panopticans" or artistic "sculptures" offering stunning viewpoints. The Atom looks down on the village of Wycoller and its Country Park. The views are great all along this trail, and you also have the great advantage that you can stop off in Wycoller village to get refreshed at the lovely Tea Room, see Wycoller's collection of ancient bridges, including the Clapper, Clam and Packhorse, and see the Wicker sculptures, and the ruins of Wycoller Hall, which the Brontes made famous.
